Medalist: I love figure skating, but I was unsure about the art style of this show coming in. Luckily it looks great when it's trying to be serious (sort of like Kimetsu no Yaiba). The show has too many dumb gags, but if you ignore all those it's a story with real heart and soul. It talks about real things head-on and doesn't flinch away from saying what's important to people. A surprisingly good success. Pass.
My Crush always speaks in Okinawan: Or whatever the real title is. The point is this useless guy has a crush on a girl he can't even communicate with. (So it's clear what he likes about her, huh?). Meanwhile he feels nothing for a girl who likes him, can speak his language, and is nice to him. Because apparently that's not good enough and he'd prefer this doll with whom he can't communicate instead. . . Fail.
Kunoichi NEET: I stopped at the halfway point because this show is dumb. If a boy already owns a place, keeping a girl in it doesn't cost more than $5 a day. The idea that she should feel bad about freeloading at his place in exchange for slaying the constant demons that are attacking him is ridiculous. A soldier receives hazard pay in a warzone far higher than $5 a day, so she's actually giving him a huge discount. Fail.
I want to escape princess lessons: There was nothing wrong with the first episode. It looked good and had an interesting scenario. Unfortunately the opening and ending sequences show that everything that happened in the first episode is about to be undone, and instead a mindless, dishonorable, stupid show is about to begin. I've never seen such an ominous opening that makes me want to run away from the story at maximum velocity. Openings are suppose to entice people to watch your show, not avoid it. . .Fail.
Zenshu: Girls shouldn't cover their faces with hair. Fail.
I Have a Crush at work: Lying is bad. Fail.
My Noble Lineage is Faltering so I tried magic: Or some title like that. The point is this guy is a genius mage who has it all -- wealth, fame, power, women -- all by the first episode. So if he's already achieved all his dreams what's the point of the rest of the series? Fail.
Medaka Kuroiwa resists my charms: Or some title like that. A super cute blonde girl is used to being adulated by everyone around her, so is annoyed and intrigued when this random classmate Medaka blows her off. Since he occasionally shows her gentlemanly kindness she's hypnotized by his tsundere moves and genuinely falls for him. At the end of the episode we learn Medaka is aspiring to become a Buddhist monk, which includes taking an oath of celibacy, so he's purposefully ignoring the girl's temptations. This is apparently a real thing that Buddhist monks really do, but why anyone in the modern era would actually prefer to become a Buddhist monk over the husband of a cute blonde girl who loves you is unbelievable. I doubt there's a single boy on Earth who would actually choose that. Fail.
Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku: This is clearly based off of some otome game where a girl is surrounded by pretty boys who all vie for her affection due to her special magic which she didn't know she had until she randomly appeared in this new world. Clearly I'm not the target audience. Fail.
I guess I'll finish off my first impressions with the remaining series that haven't debuted yet in a part 3.
